Bad Hair Day Averted! These Cleansing Towelettes Are Giving Me Life

Everyone’s been there: You wake up late, sprint to the bathroom and quickly assess your reflection. You’ve got about five seconds to decide if you’re going to wash your hair—and deep down you know you don’t have time—so you opt for dry shampoo or a headband or whip your hair into a ponytail instead. And then you’re out the door.

But some time later that day, you catch your reflection again. Maybe it’s in the window of a store as you’re racing to the office, maybe it’s in the selfie your bestie just took, and you realize your suffering from a bad hair day. Whether it’s frizz or just plain dirty tresses, it’s not cute and it’s not ending anytime soon.

To say this has happened to me once or twice would be a gross understatement. And I’m not alone—I was out with my girl friends the other night and once the topic was introduced everyone was going on and on about suffering through their own bad hair days, when you have to endure out-of-control hair from that 9 a.m. conference call straight through cocktails later that night.

So when EvaNYC’s new Purse Perfect Towelettes arrived in my sample bin, I practically ripped the box open I was so excited. Was this the product that was going to nip all those #badhairdays in the bud? Well kids, I’m here to say that yes, they do just that.

Chock full of nourishing argan oils, Vitamins A, C and E and omegas 3, 6, 7 and 9, the towelettes were created for on-the-go taming when tresses are being tougher than ever. Adding shine and moisture (but not grease!) while strengthening (thanks to those argan oils we just mentioned), these magic wipes tame flyaways, smooth frizz and just refresh your mane in general—which is especially helpful on those days when you didn’t have time to wash your hair. Or, ya know, when you’re at a festival and have been couch surfing for three days. Or, in my case, when you’re a harried mom and grooming yourself falls at the very bottom of the daily to do list.

How do they work? Each towelette is individually wrapped, so you open the packaging and then gently swipe from mid-length to the ends of your hair. And voila! Softer, shinier, cleaner-smelling hair is the result. And I promise, there's no weird residue. The great news is that towelettes are sold in boxes of ten, and they’re tiny enough to fit in your everyday tote, your evening clutch and your gym bag. You’re going to want to always have them within arm’s reach just in case you find yourself suffering from that dreaded bad hair day. Oh, and did I mention that they are currently on sale? We know, this day just got a whole lot better.
